5-Day Business Support

Business discovery and Optimization ​

Every engagement starts here.

Focus on the overall business goal and the bottleneck preventing the business from moving forward.

A structured week, start to finish.

A 5-day, hands-on business discovery process to understand your current state, identify the bottleneck, and determine what is limiting overall business performance.

What's included

Day 1 — On-site operational assessment
Day 2 — Lean management training for your team
Day 3–4 — Full value stream mapping (VSM)
Day 5 — Findings, recommendations & final presentation
Prioritized roadmap for next steps
Leadership-ready summary deck
Business Assessment

Know exactly where your operation stands and where to fix it first.

Every engagement starts here.

I conduct a hands-on assessment of your operation — processes, culture, constraints, and Lean maturity. You get a clear picture of your current state and a prioritized roadmap called the “Lean Future”: a practical plan for where to improve, in what order, and why.

What's included

Current-state operational assessment
Culture and Lean maturity evaluation
Constraint and bottleneck identification
Prioritized improvement roadmap
Future-state vision and KPI targets
Kaizen event and project recommendations
Value Stream Mapping & TOC

Find the one constraint costing you the most then fix it.

VSM shows you the flow. TOC shows you where to focus.

I map your end-to-end value stream and apply the Five Focusing Steps to locate the single constraint limiting your throughput. We don’t improve everything — we improve what matters most, so every hour and dollar of improvement effort creates the maximum result.

What's included

Current-state and future-state VSM
Five Focusing Steps (TOC) analysis
Constraint identification and elevation
Lead time and WIP reduction plan
Flow optimization and pull system design
Implementation roadmap with measurable targets
